The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is conducting data collection activities for the Next Generation of Enhanced Employment Strategies Project (NextGen Project). The project includes experimental impact, descriptive, and cost studies of about 10 programs. As described in the initial request, we are using a two-phased approach for our information collection requests. The first phase included instruments that will be uniform across programs selected for evaluation. The second phase includes materials that could be tailored to programs and therefore finalized after recruitment of specific programs. This request is for approval for minor changes to the first phase baseline survey, to use a subset of second phase instruments with programs selected for inclusion in the NextGen Project, with changes to those instruments, as well as changes to the tokens of appreciation for the follow-up surveys. We do not intend for this information to be used as the principal basis for public policy decisions.
